Defrosting

A) Fridge compartment

The fridge compartment defrosts

automatically. The defrost water runs to the

drain tube via a collection container at the

back of the appliance (Item 6).

During defrosting, water droplets may form at

the back of the fridge compartment where a

concealed evaporator is located. Some

droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze

when defrosting is completed. Do not use

pointed or sharp-edged objects such as

knives or forks to remove the droplets which

have refrozen.

If, at any time, the defrost water does not

drain from the collection channel, check that

no food particles have blocked the drain tube.

The drain tube can be cleared with a pipe-

cleaner or similar implement.

Check that the tube is permanently placed with

its end in the collecting tray on the compressor

to prevent the water spilling on the electric

installation or on the floor (Item 7).

B) Freezer compartment

The NO FROST type defrost is compleetly

automatic. No intervention from your side is

requiered. The water is colected on the

compressor tray. Due the heat of the

compressor the water is evaporated

Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or

other such electrical appliances for defrosting.

Sponge out the defrost water collected in the

bottom of the freezer compartment. After

defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Item 8

& 9). Insert the plug into the wall socket and

switch on the electricity supply.

Warnings!

The fan inside the freezer compartment

circulates cold air. Never insert any object

through the guard. Do not allow children to

play with the freezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable

propellant gas (eg dispensers, spray cans

etc.) or explosive substances.

Don’t cover the shelves with any protective

materials, which may obstruct air circulation.

Do not allow children to play with the

appliance or tamper with the controls.

Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to

ensure that you obtain the best possible

performance from your appliance.

(Item 10)

Warning!

Your appliance is fitted with a circulating fan

which is essential for the performance of the

freezer. Please ensure the fan is not blocked

(stopped) or impaired by food or packaging.

Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can

result in an increase of the internal freezer

temperature (Thawing).

Replacing the interior light bulb

(Item 11)

In case that the light bulb is out of function it is

easily to replace. First make sure that the

refrigerator / freezer is disconnected from the

power supply by removing the plug. Take a flat

screwdriver and keep it carefully without force

into the left gap between lamp cover and

internal cabinet. Then press the handle of the

screwdriver carefully to the left side until you

notice that the left pin of the cover is

disengaged . Repeat this procedure on the right

gap, however now press the handle of the

screwdriver carefully to the right side. If both

sides are loosened the cover can be removed

easily.

Ensure that bulb is screwed securely in the bulb

holder. Plug the appliance into the power

supply. If the light still fails, replace E14 screw-

cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your local

electrical store and then fit it. Carefully dispose

of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.

If you have changed the light bulb please fix the

cover again in it’s former position. Take care

that the cover snaps-in correctly.

Information about operating noises

To keep the selected temperature constant,

your appliance occasionally switches ON the

compressor.

The resulting noises are quite normal.

As soon as the appliance has reached the

operating temperature, the noises

automatically reduce in volume.

The humming noise is emitted by the motor

(compressor). When the motor switches ON,

the noise may briefly increase in volume.

An sudden click can be heares some times

due to the timer changing position

The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is

emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through

the pipes.

The clicking noise can always be heard when

the setting knob ON/OFF the motor.

A clicking noise may occur when

- the automatic defrosting system is active.

- the appliance is cooling down or warming up

(material expansion).

If these noises are excessively loud, the

causes are probably not serious and are

usually very easy to eliminate.

- The appliance is not level - Use the height-

adjustable feet or place packing under the

feet.

- The appliance is not free-standing - Please

move the appliance away from kitchen units

or other appliances.

- Drawers, baskets or shelves are loose or

stick - Please check the detachable

components and, if required, refit them.

-

Bottles and/or receptacles are touching each

other - Please move bottles and/or

receptacles away from each other.

Trouble - shooting

If the appliance does not operate when

switched on, check;

That the plug is inserted properly in the

socket and that the power supply is on. (To

check the power supply to the socket, plug

in another appliance)

• Whether the fuse has blown/circuit breaker

has tripped/main distribution switch has

been turned off.
